Blockchain security firm freezes $160K stolen in Merlin DEX 'rugpull'
Smart contract auditor CertiK claims to have blocked $160,000 from Merlin, a zk-Sync-based decentralized exchange (DEX) which has been the center of a rogue insider "rugpull" that lost users $1.8 million last week.
CertiK shared the news of its successful $160,000 freeze of the stolen funds in an update to its 257,700 Twitter followers on May 5.
“We have successfully frozen $160K of the stolen funds with the help of partners,” CertiK said, adding that they’re continuing to monitor the movement of the stolen funds:
The firm explained that they tried to “collaborate” with Merlin to recover the funds stolen from the April 25 "rugpull" but the effort was to no avail.

SUI rises to glory as Sun sets sights on it
On Apr. 30, cryptocurrency exchange Binance unveiled two LaunchPools for the then-up-and-coming listing of Sui tokens. As a Layer-1 blockchain created by Mysten Labs, which in turn was founded by former Meta executives, the Sui project was eagerly anticipated and raised $300 million from venture capitalists such as FTX Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Jump Crypto, a16z, and Circle Ventures. On Binance, users could either stake BNB or TrueUSD (TUSD) to farm a share of 40 million Sui tokens.
To say that the LaunchPools were oversubscribed is an understatement. Despite having just 0.4% of 10 billion Sui up for grabs, the retail frenzy saw the BNB-Sui farm pool surpass 8.895 million BNB staked and the TUSD-Sui farm pool top 892.6 million TUSD staked, totaling a combined $3.8 billion at the time of publication.
The arguably well-oversubscribed BNB-Sui LaunchPool (Binance)The thirst for Sui was so great that on May 1, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), co-founder and CEO of Binance, publicly rebuked Tron Founder Justin Sun for a deposit of 56.1 million TUSD on the exchange.
“Our team told Justin, if he uses any of these to grab the LaunchPool Sui token, we will ‘take action against it’. SMH. Binance LaunchPool are meant as air drops for our retail users, not just for a few whales,” CZ wrote.
